For this project, we were tasked with creating a storyboard to illustrate our persona having one of the global goals influence their life in some way – whether negatively or positively. The story is centered around a persona we chose, named Amanda Cho – a young university student with immigrant parents, who is studying industrial design. She is indecisive, overwhelmed with the state of the world, and is an avid discord user and gamer.
We came up with three possible scenarios, ultimately landing on the yellow column for our final storyboard, as we felt it was the most straightforward and easy to understand as well as execute.
Using this storyline, I created a storyboard to represent Amanda’s emotions as she struggles with feelings of helplessness directed to the horrid state humanity. This overwhelming feeling leads her to Netflix, in search of a distraction from her inner conflict, where she finds a documentary on fast fashion pasted on the front page. She decides to watch it more out of the convenience of it being the first thing she sees, but she finds herself extremely touched by the film and realizes her destructive role in the fast fashion industry, as a consumer. She then decides to change her shopping habits, and begins focusing on sustainability by buying less clothing, and purchasing from thrift stores.
